More about this scene
Formerly Bennitts Hill, One Tree Hill was named after the large ash that stood here until the First World War (when it blew down in a gale). It had once proved a useful landmark for shipping on the Thames. In 1926, a mineral well was discovered in Martinhole Wood, just below the hill.

Way back in the early 1950's my friends and I went everywhere on our cycles. On one occasion three of us set out from Grays and went across the ferry at Tilbury to Gravesend then down the old A road to Canterbury where we had a short break before we returned the round trip was about 100 miles. One of our favorite places for a short trip was to One Tree Hill. We also used to stop there on our way home from Southend, it was very romantic spot and this brings back many memories.
